The ingredient narratives reshaping clean beauty.
Exosomes
Searches for 'what are exosomes' increased 81% in three months (Cult Beauty data). These cellular messengers carry proteins and lipids and communicate with other cells — used in skincare to support regeneration, repair, and elevated cell function. Clark's Botanicals' May 2026 serum combines vegan PDRN complex with plant-derived exosomes and peptides.
- supports skin regeneration and repair
- carries bioactive payloads to target cells
- plant-derived options now widely available
- longevity serums
- post-procedure recovery formulas
Often paired with PDRN complexes and peptides for compounded longevity claims.
Plant-derived vs. mammalian-derived sourcing matters — both ethically and from a regulatory perspective in different markets.
Emerging — strong scientific interest, marketing language outpacing public understanding.
